Yeah, but I think that is a sign that they need an upgrade!

If its impossible to upgrade...........then yeah.........good idea!

Well you can just about get online on an old 486 - ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Netscape 2 can run on most OSs but you wont be able to get Broardband lol. How people survived with Dial Up

And the gap is ever widening, it used to be double the speed, but now the minimum speed for all the UK Companies is nearly going to be 1mb!

Bit of a difference, and files are only getting bigger

That's probably the main difference, the avergae game then was about 10megs or less (1988). Hardrives were <850mb and the best procesor around was a 12mhz 486DX. Oh and there was no accelerated Graphics either. And you had about 1meg of RAM max.

Sorry if this bored you - i'm a computer geek

In 1988? Try a 286 CPU, 512kb RAM, and maybe 10-20mb harddrive. Most games ran off one or two 5.25" floppy disks. No CD-ROMs, no sound cards, and mostly EGA graphics. Things got much better in the 386 days .

Maybe i'm thinking more 1990/91 then? I estimated far too much on the Hard Drive - 850mb came about 1995 lol

the smart ones amongst us were using an A1200 - and a windows based operating system long before bill gates had the wet dream that was microsoft windows...

lol, the original Windows was pants. 3.1 was fairly good though

workbench in 1988 (i think it was 3.0 iirc) was already 16bit colour and had features that windows wouldn't copy until 95 or 98...

if only commodore hadn't of had the business sense of a senile klingon...

Time for a bit of speculation

Do you think we could see the Demo today. I think it could be

Jigaly and Gavin havent been on for a while, maybe they have been engrossed in finishing the last touches or testing

Saturday seems logical as the previous release date was a Saturday

Oooh. I love speculation

Can i reitarate what i've said before. There is no logical demo release date. The Demo will be released when it is completed NOT before.

Thats great Chris

Thats why its called speculation!!!

Personally, i feel pretty much the same way as you, but i'd prefer not to have some moderator call me a tosser

Fair point!

Just wait in hope, at least it loses my excuse to not do homework

Homework! How old are you?

16

I feel very young on these boards!

lol, i've seen a couple of people who are between 14 and 16 but i think i'm the baby of the group

hmmm it has been a week since it was ment to come out anyone know when the demo will come out?

Afraid not, but it can't (well it can) be long.

Hopefully soon

I would assume sometime next week for release, midweek perhaps?

Regards Wolfe

What I see is that between the announcement and the presumed release date were 5 days, thus I thought the delay would not have been longer than that. Though I think the Interview gavin has made last weekand made clear it will certainly be worth the wait. I agree it shouldn't be any longer than a few days but still the same as always: I've not heard anything more than you, so I just don't know.

Though I'm a bit disappointed it was delayed at all because from next week on I'm off to university so there will be not really much time for testing out rebotf for a while

But there is...

There is only less time to study

That's something I can not afford until I'm a professor, I guess

lol... no problems for me ... just in secundary school ... however... I'm allready bussy with .. b.e. music (guitar).. en handball... dancing... en many other things.... aaw.. screw them... botf 2 is gonna rule

I think I can still afford waiting a while, but I think the best would be this weekend. Then I have time to test the game, we have public hollyday on Monday!! I hope the game will be brilliant, but I am still a little bit pessimistic...Not because I do not trust the ability of our programmers, but everyone has another taste. (So I haven't found a Mod I really like, I prefer original BotF)

Looking forward to release (if it's gonna happen)

So this thread has been created only to give us some room to rant about how much we want the demo.It seems clear we all want it as soon as possible. I'm not sure talking about it is releaving my inner tensions... but if it helps anyone, this is definitely the spot.And I'll give it a try myself.

We should find something to occupy the time b4 the demo...For example,
last week I played a game that took me 2 days to complete, rather cool in it's own right, not sure I'm allowed to mention it... (obviously cannot contend with botf 2), but it took my mind off the demo for a while, at least.
Talking about what can take your mind off almost anything: Today, ...
EDITED OUT: personal life stuff, I decided it doesn't belong on forums

Enough about me... What's happening to that demo?

You guys should have patience... the main developer is away for work still. (if i'm not mistaken) It will come soon enough.

Lol i am on a 2 week hoilday already but anyway my Brith of the Federation will not install and i have had it for 6 years and i am so sad

Do you know which problem you have? I think you mentionend, that you have the BotF CD (I hope so). Which Windows do you have? Perhaps you can look on the BotF Site of Armadafleetcommand for some patches you need.

Best wishes

I'm on Windows XP and it worked fine for me - without CM i might add
